Searching the library catalog for children's books can be tricky.
- To access the library catalog, go the Polk State College homepage and click on the link Library/TLCC at the top of the page.
- Under Library, select the link for Books/Catalog.
- To limit your search to Children's Books
- Type CH.LIT (no spaces) in the search box and select "library catalog" in the main drop down.
- Instead of "All items" select "Books" from the drop down immediately under the main search box.
- Add your keyword(s) to the search box.
Ex/ To help you find picture books - type "picture" after CH.LIT in the main search box; for Newbery winners - type "newbery"
- Select the green magnifying glass to search.
- Use the filters (to the left of the search results) to narrow the titles even further.
- Expand or collapse most of filters by using the up or down arrows. Then select "refine" or "apply filters" to see the new results.
